Here are our students in Campo Sananzelo, just a few feet from our palazzo! They have just dropped off their bags and are headed out for their first immersive experience in Italy … buying groceries as the local supermercato. It was a good chance for them to practice reading and speaking Italian, learning the differences between the supermarket culture in California and Venice, and handling euros.

Jet lag didn’t keep the students inside after they put away their groceries … Some cooked here, others went out to eat, and everyone wandered through Venice this evening for a first peek at our new home for 10 days!
